I have an old Dell Computer with a 150 Gig hard drive running WinXP SP2. 
It has always worked great although it is getting old and slow. I 
recently deleted some data files and uninstalled some old programs. Now, 
My Computer does not show the CD/DVD drive and I can't access it with 
Windows Explorer.

The CD/DVD drive does show up in Device Manager and it says the device 
is operating properly.

  I shut down the system, waited a few minutes, and then restarted the 
system. The drive still does not show up in My Computer or Windows Explorer.

I must have deleted something or done something to cause this problem. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a printer to install if I 
can get the system to recognize the CD/DVD drive so I can install the 
drivers.

Thanks in advance.

Loy
